While the Phillies broadcast was starting of the bottom of the fourth inning last night, Tom McCarthy wasted no time getting into one of my favorite subjects — Sarge Matthews’ hats. Tom has apparently been receiving letters from a “woman” named “Helen Litz” (You don’t think I use my real name when I send those in, do you?) and she wanted to know exactly how many hats were in the Sarge Matthews collection.
The always modest Sarge tried to get away with the answer, “several” but T-Mac wasn’t having any of that — he demanded an actual count. Sarge told him it was “somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40″ and as the conversation went further, he admitted that he has about 25 winter hats, which he didn’t count in the original total. Add it all up and that’s a shitload of awesome hats. I’m imagining you have to access his hat room like Bruce Wayne does the Batcave; by tugging on the head of a statue or pulling a certain book off the bookcase revealing a temperature-controlled section of the mansion specifically designed to house his gorgeous fedora collection. Ahhh, who am I kidding. It’s probably way cooler than that!
Here’s the video:

The Fightins’ has officially taken over the Phillies broadcast. There’s no other explanation for a 2+ minute discussion of Sarge hats.
And Tom McCarthy, put that hat down! You are not worthy.
